Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
Lin Qian and Li Jin headed out much later than everyone else. But, Li Jin decided not to wear formal wear to the event. Instead, he chose to wear his military uniform.
It seemed, no form of high-class brand could draw as much attention as the uniform on his body.
“Tonight is my brother’s engagement party. Don’t tell me you’ve prepared some kind of a ‘show’…” Lin Qian suspected on the way to the Quan Family Home.
“I’ve prepared a gift. After all, you may have broken ties with the Quan Family, but you are supposedly indebted to them,” Li Jin replied as he drove.
After hearing this, Lin Qian fell silent. Although she was curious about Li Jin’s present, she was in no rush to find out what it was. After all, it would eventually be revealed.
Li Jin did not say another word. He was better than anyone else at remaining calm. Especially when it came to ‘gift-giving’.
After all the pain that the Quan Family had put Lin Qian through, how could he possibly let them off so easily?
…
Meanwhile, at the engagement party, under the intertwining of the lights and the pleasant-sounding violin, the guests were all discussing the soon-to-be groom. At this time, Mother Quan smiled and said to everyone, “Everyone, please remain calm. When the time is right, my son will naturally come out. He said he’s preparing a surprise for the bride and wants us to remain patient.”
“Fair enough, but how come we don’t see your family’s Second Miss?”
Everyone was well aware of who this Second Miss was.
But, this didn’t stop a few of the guests from asking Mother Quan about her. In response, Mother Quan did not look pleased.
“Lin Qian is busy today. I don’t think she’ll be able to attend.”
Everyone was well aware of whether it was because she was too busy to attend or whether there were other reasons.
But, everyone sat back and enjoyed the show.
So, as soon as Mother Quan turned around, they all began to whisper amongst themselves.
“The rumors have already made the rounds in the industry: Quan Ziye personally admitted to liking Lin Qian. Someone even saw them acting indecently in the bathroom on the night of Old Quincey’s 60th birthday.”
“Now that Quan Ziye has thrown Lin Qian aside and decided to marry the daughter of a government official, Lin Qian must not be taking it well.”
“Don’t tell me the Quan Family adopted Lin Qian so their son could have someone to play around with?”
“I really want to see Lin Qian’s exp**ssion right now.”
“You better stop talking. Look who’s here.”
Even though the Quan Family didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry, it was impossible not to know who Eric and Emma were. The couple kept a low profile and didn’t dress too fancy, but their presence resembled a king and his queen, so everyone’s attention was naturally drawn towards them. They even found themselves subconsciously raising their glasses and greeting them.
No one expected Eric and Emma to attend. Even though Quan Ziye was once a part of Kaleidoscope, this was much too strange…
Everyone immediately tried to s**k up to the couple. After all, if they managed to grab the attention of either Eric or Emma, they would have a high chance of becoming famous.
Unfortunately, as soon as the couple arrived, they found a nice spot to sit down before Eric went to say a few words to Old Quincey.
“Mr. Roborts, thank you for your attendance,” Mother Quan approached Eric with a smile and tried to cheers him with the glass in her hand. But, Eric completely ignored her as he turned around and returned to Emma’s side.
Mother Quan was surprised. In fact, she was a little dumbfounded, “Have I offended him in some way?”
“It’s fine, everyone knows how heartless Eric is. He pays attention to whomever he wants and he could ignore someone without batting an eyelid,” Old Quincey explained. “Since you’ll never see him again, you shouldn’t take it to heart.”
Mother Quan took a deep breath as a form of acceptance.
“But, what’s Ziye getting up to? Why isn’t he back yet?”
“Why are you being so impatient? Your future daughter-in-law is still upstairs getting her makeup done.”
While they were speaking, one of the guests suddenly let out a surprised gasp.
At this time, the bride-to-be was seen walking down the stairs from the second floor.
It was hard not to admit that she was indeed beautiful. In fact, she had a natural elegance to her, befitting of a government official’s daughter and her appearance and presence were both breathtaking.
“Is this the bride-to-be? She’s beautiful.”
“Yes, when compared to her, Lin Qian is like a wild weed that’s sub-par.”
“Exactly, their different backgrounds make them appear so different.”
Everyone watched as the bride-to-be stepped before them dressed in a white mermaid gown. But, everyone also subconsciously looked around for Quan Ziye. The bride was here, but where was the groom?
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so beautiful, Mother Quan pounced towards her excitedly and wr*pped her in a hug, “Edith, you are beautiful.”
The woman looked down at the engagement ring on her fi**ger and smiled, “Thank you, Auntie…”
“Why are you still calling me Auntie?”
The woman was a little surprised, but in the end, she turned to Mother Quan and timidly called her ‘mom’.
“Don’t worry, now that you’ve called me mom, I will always be here to back you up.”
At this moment, all the lights in the room turned towards the bride-to-be; she was the center of attention.
This was the Quan Family’s new daughter-in-law. An identity that would never be wasted on an adopted daughter like Lin Qian.
“Mom, where’s Ziye?” the bride was curious why the groom was nowhere to be seen on such an important day.
“Ziye said he wanted to give you a surprise, so he left in the afternoon to begin preparations,” Mother Quan replied kindly. “Let’s patiently wait for a little longer, OK?”
The bride-to-be nodded her head. The relationship bet**en the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was so harmonious that it made everyone envious of them.
But, at this time, someone began to guess that Quan Ziye was nowhere to be seen because he had gone to look for Lin Qian.
As soon as Mother Quan heard this, she was furious. So she quickly reassured her daughter-in-law, “Don’t believe in their nonsense. Ziye always keeps his promises. Don’t worry.”
“Plus, Lin Qian is just our adopted daughter. There could never be anything bet**en her and Ziye. Don’t get any weird ideas.”
At first, Miss Ye smiled understandingly. But, as time passed, her exp**ssion began to change…
“Auntie, it’s already getting late, you need to tell me when Ziye is making an appearance. He is the groom-to-be.”
Mother Quan was initially confident, but slowly, she began to question what Quan Ziye was doing.
Did he actually run off to look for Lin Qian?
As Quan Ziye’s mother, this was the first time that she felt like she couldn’t control her son and had no idea what he was thinking.
There were so many guests present and the Ye Family was also there. Yet, Quan Ziye disregarded everything. Was he trying to force her into a dead end?
As more and more people began to point and gossip about Miss Ye, the Ye Family finally approached Mother Quan impatiently to question her.
“What is happening here? Why is Ziye nowhere to be seen? My daughter is out there greeting the guests on her own. What is the meaning of this?”
“My dearest in-laws, I’m so sorry, I will immediately send someone to contact Ziye. I’m sure he isn’t such an irresponsible person. Please give me some more time,” Mother Quan comforted.
“It’s already been half an hour. I’ll give him another 10 minutes. If he doesn’t show up, I’m not sure what I am capable of doing.”
Mother Quan simply smiled. It wasn’t easy for her to gain 10 minutes, but no matter how she tried to contact Quan Ziye, there was no way of getting through to him.
In a rage, she began to suspect that Quan Ziye had actually gone to look for Lin Qian, so she decided to contact her.
“If this unfilial son actually went to look for Lin Qian, I’m going to kill him!”
At this moment, Miss Ye overheard Mother Quan’s words. So, she turned to her and said, “I can’t believe that Ziye is actually involved with his own sister. Your entire family are a bunch of liars.”
After speaking, Miss Ye ran out into the middle of all the guests.
Mother Quan quickly ran after her. She couldn’t let the bride run off as well.
“Edith, things really aren’t the way that you think they are…”
“I already heard what you said. You said that Quan Ziye went to look for Lin Qian. If there isn’t something going on bet**en them, why would Quan Ziye look for her on the night of our engagement? Your entire family is a joke.”
“No, Ziye would never go look for that sl*t. Trust me,” Mother Quan began to panic.
“If he didn’t go look for her, then tell him to come out here immediately. Do you know that the entire room of guests are laughing at me behind my back?”
